The Faith United: FQ Faction Recruitment
The Faith United is a faction rooted in Corone, but with ties to Scara Brae and all other nations where the Thayne are worshiped. It began as a simple militia intended to defend the faithful against those who would seek to desecrate their religious practice, and grew into a multi-national organization with an extensive reach. In our storyline for the FQ, sixteen Aleraran assassins land on Corone shorlty after the volcanic eruption and taint the Eternal Tap. They then set about wrecking havoc in Corone, eliminating key figures, using their advanced training, weaponry, and magical filters to gain every advantage possible. In time, this will lead to Aleraran ships arriving in an all-out invasion.
So far a number of heroes have volunteered to help fight to save the island nation.

Missions
All Nightmare Long: Breaker and Shinsou
Sixteen Aleraran assassins sailchute down over Corone by darkness, the last one killing the airship’s pilot as she goes. They land and perform a simultaneous spell using synchronized watches, tainting the Eternal Tap on Corone so that anyone who uses it will become afflicted with an illness similar to leprosy. At this point the only way to safely channel magic from the Eternal Tap on Corone is through the filters built into their scabbards.
Hearing Without Listening: Breaker and Ayaka
While hunting down a group of bandits Breaker runs into Ayaka, who has created a cure for "ashen lung", a common illness on Corone attributed to the volcanic ash in the air. They work together with the Faith United to mass produce the remedy while running a field hospital near what remains of Serenti. However, Josh is there for another reason; to track down one of the Aleraran assassins who was reported in the area.
Datura Midnight: Breaker and Flamebird
Felicity was assigned to a botanist team replicating the Ashen Lung cure. However, her age and inexperience causes the head alchemist, Tacita Shiver, to bar her from doing anything.
At midnight, a gang attacks the lab in attempts to steal the cure and profit off it themselves. While the rest of the team takes their completed vials to a wagon to get away, Felicity stays behind to fight the attackers. It is here that she must make one of the most difficult choices in her life - shall she dare take life?
The Tap Tinker
Breaker and Am'aleh, both suffering from the taint on the tap, track down Lilthis and enlist her help in fixing the problem. At first they are stumped, but after Breaker manages to procure one of the filters used by the assassins, things start to move in their favor. They are harried by the effects of the taint as well as an attack by an assassin, and realize they will not be allowed to simply work in peace.
I put everyone who I've spoken with about doing a thread so far on the list. There may be a couple people that I'm missing, so just let me know if you want your name on the list. You can post here, PM me, or holler at me in discord in order to get involved. If you're on the list and don't want to be there, my apologies, just let me know.
Everyone is welcome! So long as you can be somewhat active and help complete the threads you're in, this will be a great experience for everybody. So far we have stories about fighting the assassins and the taint, about trying to create devices to filter the taint, about creating a tonic to combat the health impacts of volanic ash, and a few others. Hit me up with your ideas!
